dune subst replaces %%VERSION%% with git describe --always --dirty. I want to change this behavior to replacing it with git describe --always --dirty --tags in order to consider lightweight (i.e. non-annotated) tags.
How can I change the behavior of Dune? (Or, why does Dune always ignore lightweight tags?)
The rationale is that annotated tags are meant for releases while lightweight ones are means for private/temporary use. Why do you want to consider non-annotated tags as well?
If the command used by dune subst was customizable and dune subst worked recursively and it didn’t change files in the source tree directly, it could be a very good way to get versions in a setup with multiple opam packages or projects nested in a big repository.
Thank you for your quick reply! I want it because a tool to which I want to contribute uses lightweight tags. I’ll ask a owner to use annotated tags. Thanks
